CALIBRATING THE DIES
All die sets are marked with the nominal shut height setting (Figure 7). This is the fully closed diameter
when the tool is actuated. The dies can be easily checked with NO-GO and GO gages. The tolerance,
unless otherwise specified, is plus (+) 0.05 mm [.002 in.] (NO-GO), minus (-) 0.13 mm [.005 in.] (GO).
Example:
Die assembly 400-414DA 16N.048 has a nominal shut height of 1.22 mm [.048 in.].
The GO dimension for this die is 1.09 mm [.043 in.] (1.22 minus 0.13 mm [.048 minus .005 in.]).
The NO-GO is 1.27 mm [.050 in.] (1.22 plus 0.05 mm [.048 plus .002 in.]).
Refer to Information Drawing 0425-205-0000 (HD series) or 4025-003-0000 (CE series) for die assembly
calibration information on all contacts.
If a die set fails to calibrate within an acceptable range, calibrate the tool to ensure that the tool is within
specification (see Section 4).
